His name is Bernard Black, also known as the Black Rose, and he’s one of the best cat burglars in the world. His one weakness? Bernie may be the best there is at what he does, but he’s also a virgin, and whenever he gets near a beautiful woman, he turns into a bumbling fool.

Bernie has stolen a priceless necklace from billionaire John Maiden during the Cannes Film Festival, only to have it swiped right from under him by his rival and secret love interest, the cunning Lily Frost.

In turn, John Maiden contracts out to an elite female service known as M.A.D.A.M. (Mistresses of Assasination, Destruction, and Mayhem). Their mission: to retrieve the necklace at all costs and to bring back Bernie’s head on a silver platter. To accomplish this, M.A.D.A.M dispatches their ten deadliest and most beautiful assassins after Bernie, on a hilarious and action-packed romp through all the really cool places in Europe, from Cannes and Monaco to Paris, London, and Edinburgh.

At first I thought this was one of those books that has a good looking cover but inconsistent art throughout that would remind someone of their high school doodlings. However, this book has very decent art that I would liken to Full Metal Alchemist. I only browsed through this in a bookstore so I can't say anything about the writing.
